Brief Description:  Engine Hung!

Well today I'm officially a month ahead of my most recent schedule. I got the engine hung today for hopefully the one and only time. It wasn't too bad but it did take some manuvering to get it on for good. I also spent wanted to get the fuel pump cooling shroud mounted but when i took the pump off I noticed that the gasket was torn. Not sure if it was previously or if I did it (most likely I did it) but I talked to Allen and he is sending me a new one along with a 90 degree fitting to come off of the oil pump inlet in order to make the turn for the nose gear. I didn't realize that it had an integral finger screen so it was a good thing I talked to him and he said he would machine a new fitting and send it out. I also installed the cylinder barrel heater bands from Reiff Preheaters and got those saftey wired along with mounting the throttle body, looking at fitting the starter, and some other components.
